Technology
I think often racing is a step behind in technology. I think it hurts the business. One good thing in 2015 was the NYRA HD streaming. I'm not a nyrabets customer and am not permitted to be by state law. However, I bet 95% at NYRA and they (regardless of that) allowed me to have free access to HD NYRA feed. I think it promotes the product. I have to bet through PARX or TVG, but they get something. Whether that is enough is up to NYRA and the NY Horsemen. However, I support the product.
I was streaming Andy and Gabby today from GP before the races. This is great stuff. The nyra feed is superb. I think it is absolutely the best thing NYRA has dome this year. It's like saying "It's free, come see me". It may be hard to measure, but I really think that is a positive factor.
